The efficient mixing of fluid samples in miniaturized total analysis systems is essential for numerous applications including biological screening assays, chemical extraction, polymerization, cell analysis, and protein folding. Miniaturized…

We provide an analytical solution to examine the impact of steady and pulsatile flow in a symmetric wavy channel filled with an anisotropic porous medium. The flow inside the wavy channel with a porous substrate is governed by the…

Microfluidic systems are usually fabricated with soft materials that deform due to the fluid stresses. Recent experimental and theoretical studies on the steady flow in shallow deformable microchannels have shown that the flow rate is a…

This work concerns the modeling of radiative transfer in anisotropic turbid media using diffusion theory. A theory for the relationship between microscopic scattering properties (i.e., an arbitrary differential scattering cross-section) and…

We study a quasi-two-dimensional monolayer of granular rods fluidized by a spatially and temporally homogeneous upflow of air. By tracking the position and orientation of the particles, we characterize the dynamics of the system with…

We propose a method to separate enantiomers in microfluidic or nanofluidic channels. It requires flow profiles which break chiral symmetry and have regions with high local shear. Such profiles can be generated in channels confined by walls…

This paper reports theoretical and numerical investigations on free molecular gas flows through micro-channels. Both diffusely and specularly reflective channel surfaces are considered. Gaskinetic methods are adopted to develop the…

We study the forced displacement of a fluid-fluid interface in a three-dimensional channel formed by two parallel solid plates. Using a Lattice-Boltzmann method, we study situations in which a slip velocity arises from diffusion effects…

The asymptotic derivation of a new family of one-dimensional, weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive equations that model the flow of an ideal fluid in an elastic vessel is presented. Dissipative effects due to the viscous nature of the…

The ability to predict and/or control wall slip is a fundamental problem in the hydrodynamics of yield stress fluids, which is poorly understood to date and has important applications in bio- and micro-fluidic systems. Systematic…

The flow of charge carriers in materials can, under some circumstances, mimic the flow of viscous fluids. In order to visualize the consequences of such effects, new methodologies must be developed that can probe the quasiparticle flow…

We study the local dynamics of a thixotropic yield stress fluid that shows a pronounced non-monotonic flow curve. This mechanically unstable behavior is generally not observable from standard rheometry tests, resulting in a stress plateau…

We analytically study the dynamics of a solitonic vortex (SV) in a superfluid confined in a non-axisymmetric harmonic trap. The study provides a framework for analyzing the role of the trap anisotropy in the oscillation of SVs observed in…

The primary goal of this paper is to develop robust methods to handle two ubiquitous features appearing in the modeling of geophysical flows: (i) the anisotropy of the viscous stress tensor, (ii) stratification effects. We focus on the…

We present new experimental results on the development of turbulent spots in channel flow. The internal structure of a turbulent spot is measured, with Time Resolved Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry. We report the observation of…

The study is focused on the dispersion properties of a wire medium formed by a rectangular lattice of parallel wires at the frequencies close to its plasma frequency. While the effective medium theory predicts isotropic behaviour of…

The origin of the microscopic motions that lead to stress relaxation in deeply supercooled liquid remains unclear. We show that in such a liquid the stress relaxation is locally anisotropic which can serve as the driving force for the…

Anisotropic electronic transport is a possible route towards nanoscale circuitry design, particularly in two-dimensional materials. Proposals to introduce such a feature in patterned graphene have to date relied on large-scale structural…

A phase-field method for unstructured grids that is accurate, conservative, and robust is proposed in this work. The proposed method also results in bounded transport of volume fraction, and the interface thickness adapts automatically to…

Application of transformation theory to underwater acoustics has been a challenging task because highly anisotropic density is unachievable in water. A possible strategy is to exploit anisotropic modulus rather than density, while has not…
